Access for STAFF

You now have full access to YouTube to view and project videos when logged into your IPSD Google account.

You can enable access by signing into Chrome when logged into a district device. This single sign-in gives you access to all Google Products.

District devices will remember Chrome sign-ins between updates, so you will only need to sign-in on any individual device a single time.

Access for STUDENTS

Students have access to view videos when logged into their student Google accounts in what is called Restricted Mode, a mode that allows students to access appropriate content for educational purposes.
